Celebrate solstice in your backyard

June 19, 2020 by Penny Coles News

This photo is from a previous summer solstice celebration held at Ryerson Park. This year, the summer solstice, Saturday June 20, can be held in backyards with drums made out of anything that makes noise. Send in your drumming photos. (Natalie Hotte)

The Summer Solstice celebration, which traditionally includes Drumming Down the Sun and Yoga in the Park at Ryerson Park, has been cancelled.

With the limit to gatherings due to the pandemic, the annual celebrations at Lakeside Park and Charles Daly Park are cancelled as well.   

Carla Carlson, organizer of the events, is hoping folks will celebrate the longest day of the year at home, and send in photos for a contest, to her Niagara Nature Tour’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/
niagaranaturetours/.

For details see Carlson’s Facebook page.
